Talk:List of awards and nominations received by The X-Files franchise

Is this page really needed?
Let me list the problems:

1)Millennium is not really part of The X-Files franchise. Mulder and Scully were twice referred to as fictional characters on the show.  Yes, The X-Files was used to conclude Millennium, after it was canceled, but simply because there was no other venue to do so, and it was just one (very ill-regarded) episode.  It's pretty clear that Frank Black lives in a different fictional zipcode from Mulder and Scully.
 * When their is a crossover for two-different shows, it is generally means they are set in the same universe. Mulder and Scully makes a small cameo appearanc in season three i think? the only different is that they were portrayed by their stand in, since it was just a walk-in cameo. You can't decide what is canon or not. Officially Millennium is seen as a spin off of The X-Files either you like it or not! --TIAYN (talk) 17:55, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

2)There are actually very few awards listed on this page, and as has been discussed elsewhere, the Constellations and Portals are of such miniscule significance as to be ineligible for mention--or even for their own Wikipedia articles. I think the reader deserves to know that the Portals are determined by competitive online voting--anyone can vote, and is encouraged to vote many times.  It's a promotional device for a genre fansite.  The Constellations are a little more legit, but still basically a three year old award that exists to promote a little-known Canadian genre convention.  It's not any kind of achievement to win these awards--and The X-Files franchise has NOT won a Constellation.  It only won one Portal (because Gillan Anderson has a tiny but EXTREMELY dedicated fanbase).  And yet these two awards take up a hell of a lot of space in this article, even though the reader has no way of finding out any more about them, because Wikipedia doesn't know they exist. And has no reason to know. They are irrelevant to everyone except the people who started them, and the people who vote in them in order to feel like they're helping 'their' shows get a little more acclaim.

3)It's redundant. All of the real awards won by The X-Files, its spinoffs, and the movies, are listed elsewhere on Wikipedia.  I've seen pages of far greater significance get deleted for less obvious reasons.

I'm not really concerned with whether this article gets deleted from Wikipedia. But I think it makes little sense for it to be linked to other X-Files articles as if it was a genuine source of information. It's a personal passion project, and I think it should be on a privately run fansite. Xfpisher (talk) 17:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
